Puig Back in Dodgers Lineup

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig was back in the lineup against the San Francisco Giants one day after being benched because he arrived late for the team's home opener.

Puig was set to bat leadoff against Giants left-hander Madison Bumgarner on Saturday in the second game of a three-game series.

Puig had been slated to start in right field for Friday's afternoon game against the Giants. But the rest of the team was already on the field stretching before batting practice while Puig was getting dressed in the clubhouse. He missed the Dodgers' 8-4 loss.

Puig says he apologized to manager Don Mattingly and his teammates, and they accepted.
